Part of the reasoning was that it should have a
connector that is not like
any other. if it were a standard db9 or db15 you'd have people plugging
into the serial port....
Okay, then; make it DB15 male on the card bracket and female on the
monitor. That way it's backwards to the joystick port, and people don't
mix it up, any more than they mix up "DB25" male serial and female parallel.
